Rajan Shahi's 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' saw a major twist with a six months leap. Both Kartik and Sirat are living in their separate worlds and Sirat is now called Simran, who lives in Dalhousie, while Kartik lives on and off in London. 

Kartik decides to come back to India and gives a pleasant surprise to the Goenkas. Kairav makes a beautiful painting of him, and Kartik is over the moon on receiving it. Later, Kartik tells everyone that he needs to go out for some work and they understand that he wants to go and look for Sirat. Kairav tells him that Sirat was always there when they needed her so now it's their turn to be there for her.
